The trouble being: said Boner was too weak, too sweet and overpriced to boot.
It was really more like a lugubrious lollypop than a turgid, harder-than-trigonometry Amazing Python of Love.
And at thirteen bucks, it was nowhere near the lush, luxurious libations available at Herbs & Rye, and up and down the Strip.
The Food Gal was none too impressed with her imbibing either, pronouncing her drink insipid as well as expensive.
Which raises the question: Has our cocktail culture gotten to the point where sophistication reigns, or are the hipsters and assorted folks patronizing these bars more in love with the idea of pristine, potent-and-perfect potables, rather than the real thing?
Because if it’s the former, Mingo is going to have to step up its game. But if its the latter, a certain type of imbiber will be happy to pay the freight — even if the cocktails sound a lot better than they are.
ELV had two drinks and his bill came to $38 (including a $6 tip).

When it comes to cocktail creation, as my father was wont to say “Many are called, but few are chosen.”
Curtas gets a boner when the wind blows.
One thing we can all be sure of, like the sun rising every morning, is sophomoric humor from eatinglv.
Wait a minute! It’s been more than a week without a picture of some marginally attractive hostess at an overpriced, overrated casino restaurant!
Is there a problem here?
I hope not. Might be time for testosterone shots.
I happen to like his pictures of marginally attractive hostesses.
Thankfully, there is just enough pineapple and lime juice in it to guarantee you will not get scurvy until next week.

With a respectful nod to Mr. Gladstone’s father, my father was wont to say, “If you want a drink, pour yourself some good whiskey over an ice cube.” The description of the “Boner” reads like a popsicle. Sounds like you got what you ordered.
……but MMcK, not too big of an ice cube!
Quality booze will stand on it’s own and doesn’t require fruity juices or fizzy
mixes.

@2007: Correct. My pops also believes that ice cube shoud be no more than a square inch. Anything larger adulterates the spirit.
